Browns get their future quarterback to build around and the best QB in the draft.

2

Josh Rosen

QB

UCLA

6’4″

220

Eli Manning is 37 years old and there is no long term replacement. Rosen fills that role.

3

Bradley Chubb

DE

North Carolina St.

6’3″

275

Colts need a major talent upgrade to their roster. They get one of the top players in the draft and fill a defensive line need.

4

Minkah Fitzpatrick

S

Alabama

6’1″

201

Minkah would be a major upgrade for the Browns and would add versatility to the secondary.

5

Baker Mayfield

QB

Oklahoma

6’0″

216

Denver coached him at the Senior Bowl. John Elway takes a chance that Baker can translate that college success into nfl success

6

Saquon Barkley

RB

Penn St.

5’11”

223

Barkley slides a little due to the running back depth in the draft. Jets add an instant impact player for the offense.

7

Denzel Ward

CB

Ohio St.

5’10”

191

Brent Grimes is 34 and a pending free agent and hargreaves is a better nickel cornerback. Ward gives Tampa Bay some depth and talent at corner.

8

Quenton Nelson

OG

Notre Dame

6’5″

325

The Bears moved on from Josh Sitton at guard, Nelson would be an immediate starter on the line. this is a great match between talent and need.

9

Tremaine Edmunds

OLB

Virginia Tech

6’5″

250

49ers are in a shaky position at linebacker with the arrest of Reuben Foster and both the outside linebacker positions needing upgrades. Tremaine Edmunds is an athletic freak and one of the best tacklers in the draft.

10

Roquan Smith

ILB

Georgia

6’0″

225

The Raiders need an upgrade at weakside linebacker. Roquan Smith is a three down linebacker that will fit this need. if Navorro Bowman leaves that will increase the need.

11

Rashaan Evans

ILB

Alabama

6’2″

234

Evans is a do it all linebacker who can rush the passer on the edge or play the inside. This will add to the Dolphins linebacking unit that they’ve been trying to upgrade for years.

12

Orlando Brown

OT

Oklahoma

6’8″

355

Cedric Ogbuehi and Jake Fisher have been disappointing at tackle. Orlando Brown gives the bengals a potential franchise tackle for their offensive line.

13

Derwin James

S

Florida St.

6’3″

211

The Redskins need an upgrade at safety. Derwin james has star potential and would be a nice fit in Washington.

14

Vita Vea

DT

Washington

6’5″

344

New defensive coordinator likes a 3-4 nose tackle. Vita Vea is an absolute terror on the defensive line and would be a great fit for a Packers line that lacks depth.

15

Josh Allen

QB

Wyoming

6’5″

233

With the retirement of Carson Palmer, the cardinals are without a longterm option at QB. Allen could be that QB that the Cardinals take a chance on.

16

Calvin Ridley

WR

Alabama

6’1″

190

Ozzie Newsome loves himself some Alabama players. Jeremy Maclin is getting older and Mike Wallace could be gone in free agency. Ridley would be the ideal Mike Wallace replacement.

17

Connor Williams

OT

Texas

6’6″

320

The Chargers offensive line is aging. Connor Williams is a nice option as a future left tackle or kick him inside to guard.

18

Joshua Jackson

CB

Iowa

6’1″

192

Corner has gone from a position of strength to a need. Joshua Jackson has the height seattle looks for and the ball hawking ability.

19

Da’ron Payne

DT

Alabama

6’2″

308

Dallas lacks depth on the interior defensive line. Payne has star potential, but will need to improve his consistency.

20

Marcus Davenport

DE

UTSA

6’6″

259

Even with giving Ansah the franchise tag they still need someone on the opposite side adding a pass rush. Davenport has the potential to be a very good defensive end in the league.

21

Maurice Hurst

DT

Michigan

6’2″

282

The Bills need interior defensive line help. Hurst has rare pass rush ability for a DT and can help the bills on defense.

22

Lamar Jackson

QB

Louisville

6’3″

200

Yes he is a QB. Given the chance, lamar could be a very successful NFL starter. He has a lot of zip in his passes, but will need to improve his intermediate accuracy.

23

Mike Hughes

CB

Central Florida

5’11”

191

Even with acquiring Marcus Peters, the Rams still need corner help. Mike Hughes adds another playmaker to the Rams defense.

24

James Washington

WR

Oklahoma St.

5’11”

210

Cam Newton needs help at receiver. Washington adds a playmaker to the panthers receiving core.

25

Arden Key

DE

LSU

6’6″

238

Key has the talent to go much higher, but has some off the field issues. The Titans could take a chance on him adding a premier pass rusher to their defense.

26

Harrison Phillips

DT

Stanford

6’3″

303

The Falcons will likely lose Dontari Poe. Harrison Phillips is a possible replacement.

27

Harold Landry

OLb

Boston College

6’2″

250

This would be ideal for the Saints to add a pass rusher like Landry. Landry had an injury filled 2017, but is a talented edge rusher when healthy.

28

Ronnie Harrison

S

Alabama

6’3″

214

The secondary for the steelers is the weakness of the team. Adding a hard hitting, playmaking like Ronnie Harrison could change that.

29

Isaiah Wynn

OG

Georgia

6’3″

308

The Jags defense is very good. The offense is the thing holding the team back. Wynn gives the Jaguars a plug and play guard that will help bolster the offensive line.

30

Billy Price

C

Ohio St.

6’3″

312

The Vikings got a steal last year in Ohio State Center Pat Elflein. Billy Price could push the Vikings interior line to the next level as Price can be moved to guard.

31

Isaiah Oliver

CB

Colorado

6’1″

190

As seen in the super bowl the secondary needs some help. Isaiah Oliver is a highly athletic corner with good ball skills. With malcolm Butler Likely moving on he could start opposite of Stephon Gilmore.
